Learning from What You Retrieve: Online RL Fine-Tuning for Semantic Retrieval

This work proposes PAO (Positive-Advantage-Only), a selective RL optimization method that selectively applies gradient updates only to retrieved items with positive advantages, effectively pulling query embed- dings toward high-reward regions while preserving global topo- logical stability.

MedAgent-R1: Faithfulness-Aware Reinforcement Learning for Evidence-Grounded Medical Reasoning

This work identifies a systematic failure mode in RL-trained retrieval agents: outcome-only rewards improve accuracy while degrading faithfulness, a phenomenon the authors term confident hallucination, and addresses this with a faithfulness-gated reward design.

RecRec: Latent Interests Recursive Reasoning for Sequential Recommendation

Rec is proposed, an RL-free framework that decouples reasoning from prediction, overcoming the fixed d-dimensional state bottleneck of prior methods, and points to a decoupled, multi-vector recipe that unleashes latent reasoning from the single-state bottleneck of prior methods.

Automated Vulnerability Patching in Legacy Code Using LLMs and Multi-AI Agents

While multi-agent LLM pipelines show real promise for legacy code specifically, since their capacity for autonomous context reconstruction and iterative, feedback-driven refinement directly addresses the sparse documentation and thin test coverage that define legacy environments, the literature to date has been validat...
